「はっ?」VS 「Huh?」
In Japanese, “Ha?” is quite rude. 😬
In English

, “Huh?” is casual, but not so rude.
We often use “Huh?” with friends, and nobody is bothered. It means, “What did you say?” or “I don’t understand.”👂❓

They sound very very similar, so it’s a little shocking for Japanese people. 😅
Please don’t get upset with English speakers for saying, “Huh?”
They only want to understand you better!

    Haha. I can totally relate. You can say "ん?" instead of "は?".It sounds more... nicer.

    @Moe ん? is good for when you’re speaking Japanese, but “Huh?” is natural English, so it’s something that English learners should adjust to.

    I remember when I was in an English class and a teacher said “huh?” to a student because he couldn’t hear what the student said and other classmates laughed at the situation because we didn’t get used to “huh?”.
